Hammock camping is a style of camping where the campers sleep in hammocks off the ground. Hammock tents are the ideal shelter for these environmentally sensitive campers who desire sleeping comfort without damaging nature’s beauty.
What’s Different About a Hammock Tent?
Many if not most campers protect themselves from the elements overnight by putting up a tent and using a sleeping bag inside it. A hammock tent is just a conventional hammock, sans spreader bars, suspended between two supports such as trees, and shielded with a protective canopy or tarp for sleeping and shelter similar to a conventional camping tent. Hammock tents that you purchase are made so that the protective covers are part of the hammock. Many hammock tents have an entry system that can be closed using a zipper, Velcro or other closure system.
Hammock Tents Are Eco-Friendly
Hammock tents have many benefits. Hammock campers firmly believe that using hammocks doesn’t mar or harm the environment like a traditional campsite. Sleeping in a hammock tent eliminates trying to sleep on hard or otherwise rocky ground. Indeed, these hammocks enable you to set up camp where many conventional camping tents could never be placed. Many are available with mosquito netting, inner pockets for storage, and other nifty features. Once you try a hammock tent and experience the renowned restful comfort of a hammock while camping, you may give up your conventional tent and sleeping bag altogether.

If you love to camp or hike, an ultralight hammock is ideal. It can be easily stored and carried with you as part of your gear. Ultralights make a great hike hammock because they are so portable, dry easily, and are mildew-proof. The materials these hike hammocks are made from are quite tough and stand up to the rigors of the outdoors. You may never go back to a sleeping bag. Read the rest of this entry »
